Lumaha`i - by Alfred Alohikea
Hanohano Hanalei i ka ua nui He pakika i ka limu o Manu`akepa   `Au`au i ka wai `o Lumaha`i Ka lehua maka noe o Lulu`upali   E`ena Hâ`ena i ka `ehu kai A he aha la o ka hana Lohiau ipo   Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana He pakika i ka limu o Manu`akepa	Famous is Hanalei for much rain Slippery the seaweed of Manuakepa   Bathed in the water of Lumahai Is the misty-faced lehua of Lulu`upali   Ha`ena is fearful, because of the seaspray And what is Lohiau ipo's work   The story is told Slippery the seaweed of Manuakepa
